[QUOTE="Malika, post: 526329, member: 11227"] Hi. They say, don't they, that meltdowns are a backwards compliment - in other words, children only allow themselves to have meltdowns with those they are comfortable with and those they trust. I am sure it is a compliment you could do without :) My instinctive response is to say "don't give up". You need to keep faith in your view that you are not to blame and that your son may be managing his behaviour at his father's at considerable cost and that the steam comes pouring out of the pressure cooker when he is with you... He may also be expressing some of the conflict and tension inherent in a divorce and his position. I am obviously just making a few guesses in the dark - you know best from your position on the ground. Is there anything you feel you could/should be trying with your son to improve the behaviour and your relationship? [/QUOTE]
